Step 1: How to find my glove size?
You’ll find your glove size by measuring the circumference of your preferred hand at the widest point (without your thumb) using a measuring tape. The measurement must be in centimetres.
Then you divide the number by 2,7 to get your exact glove size in French inches.
If your calculated size is e.g. 7,15’’ you round off the number to the nearest size, as your gloves should rather be a bit too tight at first, as it adjusts to your hand when in use.
When looking for mittens, you should go for one size larger than you would normally choose, as you will experience the ultimate warmth and comfort for your hands.
Our gloves are available in both whole and half sizes: For women in sizes from 6 to 8.5 and men in sizes from 7 to 11.

Step 2: How should my gloves fit?
The joy of the perfect fit is very important:

Step 4: Which material to choose?
Our gloves are handcrafted from natural materials, and we carefully select each piece of leather used to craft our designs. This is to ensure the perfect result in creating a pair of RHANDERS gloves every time.
Get to know all the different leathers and their characteristics: Lamb leather: Gloves hand-sewn from lamb leather are butter soft, yet strong. Lamb leather is available in a wide variety of colours Goat leather is perfect for gloves worn for durability. This type of leather is seen as almost indestructible. Peccary is a rare and much-coveted glove leather, stemming from the South-American peccary. The feel is luxurious, soft, flexible and has a very characteristic structure. Pearl lamb is one of the warmest lining in our gloves, and is well-suited to usage on the coldest days of the year. The softer the curls in the lining, the warmer the glove. That is the magic of pearl lamb. Double-face long-haired soft lamb is made into our popular mittens, and serves as both the outer material and lining, creating the ultimate comfortable glove for cold days.

Water repellent 3M technology: Most of our gloves are treated with water repellent technology, meaning that you will never have to treat the leather with a waterproofing treatment. On the contrary, this will make the gloves look matte, and affect the leather’s breathability. Read more about all our materials
Step 5: How to care for my gloves?
To ensure that your gloves will last for decades, they need a lot of love and very little care.
We have collected our best advice for how to prolong the lifetime of your gloves right here: All about product care
Our gloves are made from the finest aniline leathers, that don’t need any kind of treatment, silicone or wax. Actually, it will ruin the leather if added. Instead, you should only use a dry cotton cloth to buff your gloves.
Avoid wearing your gloves in rainy weather as the gloves are water resistant, but the leather is not happy with being drenched.
If you wish to make snowballs then use a softshell cover on top of your fine leather gloves.
Stretch your gloves after use to keep them in shape. See the full guide here
Store your gloves flat and not folded, or squeezed in a pocket, and make sure to store them away from direct heat and light as it will dry out the leather.
